There is no country called Congo. The Democratic republic of the Congo was once Zaire, and before that the Belgian Congo. The ancient Kingdom of Congo included bits of Angola, Cabinda, DR Congo and the Republic of Congo. But British, no.
The Republic of the Congo borders Gabon and what was once Zaire, now called the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In its current form, using the name of Zaire can be confusing because of the name change.
Azerbaijan Democratic Republic's motto is 'The flag once raised will never fall!'.
